Isaiah 62

Zion’s Glory and New Name

1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, Until her 1righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her 2salvation like a torch that is burning.2The 3nations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new 4name Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.3You will also be a 5crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, And a royal 6diadem in the hand of your God.4It will no longer be said to you, “78Forsaken,” Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “9Desolate”; But you will be called, “10My delight is in her,” And your land, “1112Married”; For the 13Lord delights in you, And to Him your land will be married.5For as a young man marries a virgin, So your sons will marry you; And as the 14bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So your 15God will rejoice over you.

6On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed 16watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who 17remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;7And 18give Him no rest until He establishes And makes 19Jerusalem a praise in the earth.820The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, “I will 21never again give your grain as food for your enemies; Nor will 22foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”9But those who 23garner it will eat it and praise the Lord; And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

10Go through, 24go through the gates, Clear the way 25for the people; 26Build up, build up the 27highway, Remove the stones, lift up a 28standard over the peoples.11Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the 29end of the earth, 30Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your 31salvation comes; 32Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”12And they will call them, “33The holy people, The 34redeemed of the Lord”; And you will be called, “Sought out, a city 35not forsaken.”
